That thing sounds gooooood! Doesn't skip a beat. We went to our state fair last month and watched my brother in law pull his dodge. His family is all dodge, we don't talk about it >:(  After watching a bunch of 120 to low 200 foot passes, the dodge guys got strangely quiet when a 69 f100 with a 572 385 series make a full pull, then kept going up the hill in a cloud of dust!  Anyway,  cool truck Nick,  like watching your videos.

You think this sled don't pull hard? All new fresh break in the weld, I now use a one piece forged drawbar :) Since this video was taped by my competition I am thinking I need to look in her purse for a hacksaw, she was focused on the hitch for some reason ;D ;D

That was weird.
It was like someone pulled a pin and it fell out.
Really nice pull though.
The truck sounds great.

Thanks Marc,

Here is my Saturday pull, 1st place @ 310' they added some weight so we all pulled about 15' less than on Friday. Notice at the start the truck wanted to bounce some, the track was rough so I had to get out of it a little, it still pulled to 6000 rpm tho.

I'm diggin' it Nick!  8) But damn.... you had to tow your ass off to make a few of the pulls! You live in northern Utah right?  One of these days I'll put some junk together and come pull with you guys. Vernal is only 2 1/2hrs away from me.

Kevin, I live in Snowflake, Arizona 650 miles from Vernal, 1000 miles from Powell, Wyo. I have towed over 11,000 miles so far this season in 14 pulls.

I have been watching your "504" thread, what an awesome truck and power plant. That 504 would make an awesome puller!!

I guess I assumed you were from northern Utah since some of your earlier videos were pulls in that area. But wow! You have towed some serious miles this season.

Thank you for the kind words. My truck is dealing with some identity issues right now. Anymore I think it would make a better puller than a mud racer due to its weight. Or build another motor and just retire it to the street maybe...

So.....just hit the eject button and head straight to the winners circle. Neat innovation there Nick. 8) Lol  I'm surprised the bowtie guys didn't jump on you and demand a safety DQ. Nice pull btw.
